Why is Lake Nakuru famous for flamingos?

Direct answer

Lake Nakuru became world-famous because enormous flocks of flamingos historically gathered along its shores. At certain times, millions of birds transformed the lake into a sea of pink, creating one of Africa's most spectacular wildlife scenes.
